That's not reliable; it seems to depend on the server.  It may be 
necessary to add:
        <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">
between <HEAD> and </HEAD> of every HTML file you have (except for HTML 
files that appear only within frames).

Note that the image should be 16*16.  Any other size currently screws up 
Mozilla and FireFox, and can produce inferior results on other browsers. 
  And, the last I looked, the favicon.ico file is supposed to be in (of 
all things) Windows Icon format, though I gather other formats work, too.
